Jaime Albert Trost was diagnosed with Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia at 19 weeks gestation. He was born at 34 weeks gestation on 4/16/09 as a hemophiliac with his liver and intestines in his chest. Jaime had his 1st repair surgery at 23 days old. He re-herniated in September 2009, causing his bowels, kidney and liver to be up in his chest. He had his 2nd repair surgery at 194 days old. Though Jaime still has many medical challenges ahead of him, today he is a thriving KINDERGARTENER who has beaten the odds!

1-27-09-The Results are in!!!

Just a quick note to let you know that Jared's hematologist called to let me know that his hemophilia genetic test came back! There is a positive Factor VIII mutation as expected. Tomorrow, they will send Jaime's amnio cells out to test him for hemophilia. His results will be in very quickly since they know what they are looking for!
Jared's results came in 2 weeks earlier than expected...YEA! We're one more step closer to solving the puzzle!!!!

As a side note, I will be meeting with Jared's genetic team to go over the results either later this week or early next week. I'll keep the immediate family posted on the findings in a separate email.
